I'm tired of people talking about their peoples' suffering.

I'd say it's normal to be aggravated. Some people just like to play off their ancestors for the sympathy factor, even though they probably will never understand such misery.

People who exploit their ancestor's/relative's sufferings are weak individuals. They use it as an excuse for a leveraging agent for an argument.

Total bullshit and I agree with you.

Yes, I can see why that would annoy you. If people are using it for attention, at any rate.

I kind of do partially understand the suffering because it's something I've read a lot about (it intersects with something else that I'm particularly interested in). Even though I wasn't there, it's impossible not to realise at least some of what happened. Likewise, I know a handful of people who have visited Auschwitz-Birkenau and reacted in ways they hadn't expected. They went out of historical interest (and to pay respects) and were reduced either to numbness or overwhelming distress. I don't find that annoying either. If they were trading on it, though, I would find it annoying.

Fucking annoying especially when black people bitch about the civil rights over & over & over like stfu .

Well that all depends.
Are we talking about a person that is fairly well educated on the topic of the suffering and atrocities committed towards their race and if so are they talking about it in such a manner to add content to the conversation and intellectually stimulate you?

Are the two of you having this conversation out of a general want to seek knowledge from one another?

Or is this person taking the freedom that their race, ethnicity etc. fought for and one to wear their pants around their ankles, drop out of high school and bitch about how the world owes them because their race was oppressed? Is this person using this as a card for sympathy, guilt etc.?

Only you can be the judge of either factor. On one hand, having an intellectual conversation with someone about this wouldn't be half bad. On the other hand having to sit and listen to some prick who obviously never cracked open a history book and is as full of hate as his ancestors oppressors bitch about it would be rather unpleasant. Way to go, you are taking your freedom and corkscrewing it up your ass because you think looking cool is more beneficial than success.

Normal.

There is a suffering minority. Autistics. These people are as close to perfect as you can get. You should worship them.

People use those examples to discount personal sufferings that someone else might be going through. It's a a roundabout way of saying "I don't care about you."

exactly!

I know what you mean I have lost my sympathy for poeple over the years and I have always been the word of wisdom even if Im treated like krap or ignored im the problem solver to all with all the knolledge . but I useta care over the years I realized I just dont anymreo sadly

I agree with you!

I totally know how you feel. It's like they want bragging rights for something they never came in contact with. However, I do understand that they may just bepreciating their ancestors for all that they've done for them, and they have a right to do that.

I hate it too. I have relatives that do it and I think it's pathetic.

Why did this post make me hungry?

ABSOLUTELY. Couldn't agree more.

Some people feel. They admire, they envy, and they feel. Why is it so wrong to pass words on from generations ago? From people who saved and ment alot to their race? They are people that are happy to be freely walking this earth right now. There shouldn't be any problem about them representing their heritage... culture, role models, ect. If we all stopped talking about where we came from. History would be lost. Appreciate, and have a better and more open mind.

I know this black centenarian; born in 1910. She deserves to bitch about the civil rights era.

Jew scum!
